Dexter 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly, Right Hand, 3.5K, Manual Adjust - 023-609-00

The Dexter 023-609-00 is a complete 10 x 2-1/4 inch hydraulic trailer brake assembly built for the right-hand (RH) side of a 3,500 lb (3.5K) rated trailer axle. This is a full brake assembly rather than a single component, so it is intended as a direct replacement for a worn or damaged right-hand hydraulic brake on trailers within the Dexter 3.5K brake size family.

This unit uses a manual-adjust design, meaning brake shoe clearance is set by hand rather than through a self-adjusting mechanism, so periodic manual adjustment is part of normal maintenance for this brake. It is designated specifically for the right-hand side of the trailer; it is not interchangeable with a left-hand brake, which is a separate part.

Because this is sold as a complete assembly, it is intended to simplify replacement by supplying the full 10 x 2-1/4 inch hydraulic brake unit in one part rather than requiring separate sourcing of individual components.
